why a small car can stop easier than an 18 wheeler while traveling at 70 mph down the interstate?

Answers

Answer 1
Smaller cars have less momentum than bigger cars. What’s in motion stays in motion but objects with more momentum (can be from weight or from speed but in this case it’s about weight) tend to stay in motion longer.

You and your 3 friends are driving down the road. All the wheels go flat at the exact same time, that's not good. You have to use a 2,100 N force to push the car 4 meters to the side of the road. How much work did you do on the car?

Answers

Answer:

Workdone = 8400 Nm

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 2100 N

Distance = 4 meters

To find the work done;

Workdone = force * distance

Workdone = 2100 * 4

Workdone = 8400 Nm

Therefore, the amount of work done on the car is 8400 Newton meters.

What is the total energy of a system with KE = 1368 J and a PE = 5782J? Express your answer in kJ.

Answers

Answer:

7.150 KJ

Explanation:

The total energy of a system is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy in the system. According to this question, the kinetic energy (KE) = 1368 J and a potential energy (PE) = 5782J.

Total energy of the system will be PE + KE as follows;

1368J + 5782J

= 7150J

However, the question demanded that the answer be in kJ (kilojoules), which is higher than the joules.

Since 1kJ = 1000J

7150J = 7150/1000

= 7.150kJ

A 3500 N is force is applied to a spring that has a spring of constant of k= 14000 N/m. How far from equilibrium will the spring be displaced?

Answers

Answer:

the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

F= -K × x

So,

[tex]x = \frac{-F}{K}[/tex]

Now  

[tex]x = \frac{-3500}{14000} \\\\[/tex]

= -0.250m

= 25.0 cm

Hence, the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm

As Clinton walks he pushes his shoe against the track.
Which of the following best describes the reaction force to Clinton's shoe pushing against the track?
OA. The track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.
ОВ.
The track pushes in the same direction as Clinton's shoe with the same force.
OC. The track pushes against gravity with the same force.

The track pushes in a different direction with a different force.

Answers

Answer:A:The track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.

Explanation:According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. In this case, the action force is Clinton's shoe pushing on the track. As this happens, there is an equal and opposite reaction force in which the track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.
